Worstall's writings on economics and environmentalism have received a varied response. Matt Ridley described his book Chasing Rainbows as "Fearless, fresh, forensic and funny",[14] while in response to an article by Worstall about the think tank Compass[15] the author Colin Hines described Worstall's argument as "a libellous smokescreen".[16] Worstall has also written on corporate tax and has been critical of the protest group UK Uncut.[17] In response Richard Murphy wrote that "the claims made by Worstall are not just groundless, they reveal either a profound misunderstanding of the issues or a deliberate willingness to misrepresent them".[18]
